Aerospace and Defence in Specialities & Other Fluids
In Aerospace and Defence, equipment availability converts directly into cost. Specialities & Other Fluids look like a small line in that budget, yet the wrong choice is one of the most common causes of unplanned downtime. This page sets out where this product group is used in the sector and which criteria decide the selection.
Why it matters in this sector
This group covers fluids that do more than plain lubrication: heat transfer systems, transmissions, transformers and equipment operating in environmentally sensitive areas.
Environmentally acceptable lubricants are chosen for applications with a risk of water contact — stern tubes and deck hydraulics — where environmental regulations have to be met.
Selection criteria
- The equipment builder's approval list and minimum performance level
- Operating temperature range and ambient conditions (humidity, salt air, dust)
- Whether the viscosity grade suits the load and speed profile
- Balance between drain interval and total cost of ownership
- Packaging type and how it fits the plant's internal transfer set-up
